TOUCHDOWN! Prior to the Super Bowl, we challenged ourselves to build a lightweight, portable baggo board set made from lumber scraps and extra hardware found in the garage. And guess what? We made it happen: bold and bright, full of life ready to begin a new Sunday ritual in our pergola<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Is it baggo board? Cornhole? Bean bag toss? What do you call it?)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first set was built 5 years ago with 2×4’s by following instructions on a blog. It was a wonderful beginner project to learn from and use some hand tools. Like most projects, useful improvements start to surface. The original board felt bulky; really a drag to carry around. Split joints and weakened midsections. Boy, is this what middle-age feels like? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We put a few chairs to the test<\/a> <\/strong>and give you 3 reasons why Branch Furniture’s Office Daily Chair exceeds all of our expectations.

Given a second chance, careful consideration was given: swapping 2×4’s with 1×2’s to reduce weight. Reinforcing the midsection with a crossbar. Pocket holes and glue to create, tight clean joints. And of course, a brand new field to play on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a manual miter saw and box, 4 pieces of 1″ x 2″ x 8′ pine sticks were cut down to size:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
